Thoughts on a Sunday Morning

I woke up early this morning for a Sunday--at 6:00 a.m., still high on the amazing wedding I shot last night. When my husband woke up a couple hours later, I relayed all the details of yesterday's shoot to him, telling him all about the couple and what they're into, her dress, his suit, their crazy friends, their sweet family, everything. And I ended it by saying, "they're just really great!"

This morning I'm feeling so lucky that I thought I would write about it here. I'm lucky because I get invited into the most special day of someone's life almost every week. It seems the last couple I've shot is somehow always my favorite. But when I think about it, it's that each pair is in love in an entirely different way so that it feels new to me during each wedding, or engagement, or maternity, or family. And when I see that love between them, I just want to make them happy.

I just got married myself about month ago, so bear with me if I'm being overly mushy today--still a lot of leftover sentimentality that I just don't know what to do with ;) I guess the thought here is just that I love my job. I love getting to know my clients and seeing what makes them tick. We're all such incredibly different people, and what I hope to do with my photography is put an emphasis on those differences, so that the people I fall in love with each week really show for who they are in my images.

Thanks for reading, and have a lovely Sunday :)
